Market analysis: Ice cream is a reasonable proxy for the universal food product. Its appeal is
neither gender nor age specific. It satisfies hunger, tastes good, makes the consumer feel good, and its
fun to eat.

Consumers purchase ice cream for a variety of reasons. On festive or special occasions it represents
a special treat. Super premium ice cream, especially a foreign brand, is akin to a status symbol that
allows the purchaser to feel good about what he/she has accomplished in life. When packaged in
individual servings it is a convenient way to respond to impulses and provides instant gratification.
In many economically developed societies the concept of a comfort food has taken root and grown.
Comfort foods are those foods that one consumes because it makes the consumer feel good. Culturally,
the concept of comfort foods is a learned behavior. For example, in the US when a child is hurt often
times the parent will give the child a food product, generally a sweet, to ease the discomfort. In western
societies the number one comfort food for both men and women is ice cream. After ice cream comfort
foods become more gender specific; in the US chocolate is number two for women while pizza is number
two for men. The concept of comfort foods in India is very much in an embryonic stage. Economically,
for many, food is still in short supply and nutrition is far more important than feeling good about what is
consumed. In India there are several cultural dimensions that act as inhibitors to the concept of comfort
foods whereas in the US these same dimensions contribute to the idea.
